Session Element Manager Features Delivered by the Service Provider Edge and Core Plug-in Release 2.0

The Service Provider (SP) Edge and Core plug-in for Release 2.0 provides the following features and where they are documented:

Note:

As of Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager Release 8.0, the previous device nodes (used in OCSDM 7.x) that maintained the standalone or HA pair devices were replaced with the concept of a Network Function (NF). NFs are a network architecture concept used to describe entire classes of network node functions into building blocks that may connect, or chain together, to create communication services as defined by the GS NFV-MAN 001 - ETSI. In this context, a NF can be composed of one-to-many Edge devices. For example, a SBC-based NF can be composed of two SBC instances running as a HA pair.
Feature Description Where Documented
LI Configuration Encryption An LI administrator user can enter an LI encryption password for the LI configuration when adding or editing a Network Function (NF) with devices, and when editing a global parameter or offline configuration.
Changes were made to the following Oracle® Communications Session Element Manager User Guide for the Service Provider Edge and Core Plug-in sections:
  • Add a Network Function with Devices
  • Edit a Network Function with Devices
  • Edit Information for the Global Parameter Configuration
  • Edit the Offline Configuration
